Abstract
Examples of a touch screen are disclosed herein. One example of the touch screen includes a plurality of light emitting diodes positioned adjacent a perimeter of a panel and a circuit electrically connected to the plurality of light emitting diodes to individually and sequentially illuminate the light emitting diodes. This example of the touch screen additionally includes a plurality of photodiodes positioned adjacent the perimeter of the panel so that each photodiode receives light from at least one of the light emitting diodes when illuminated by the circuit. Photodiodes that receive light from different light emitting diodes are electrically connected in parallel.
